Time Flies – Was the last post really in October?

Well, Yes it was………..but that does not mean that work stopped – Oh no, definitely not.

Most days during the Winter and Early Spring I was out there on the front drive doing something. Exactly what, you will find out soon, as I will be catching up with the Blog posts over the next few weeks.

But as with everything Land Rover, the build turned out requiring more work as each day passed. Given that this is a Perentie and I am building a Camper, nothing is standard, nothing fits, and every day, is a problem solving day!

Having said that, as I write this in April 2021, progress is being made and Perentie is “getting there”.

If you have read previous posts, you will know that the premise of all of this work, the goal if you like, is a road trip around the USA.

Back in January 2020, it became obvious that this was not happening anytime soon, and I guess this still applies now. I suspect, in reality, providing things continue to improve we might get away next year; but our heads are saying 2023………………We will see!

But we can still get out and about around the UK, and plan to do this in the Summer. My goal is to finish the build by the end May 2021 and head off for a road test. After the amount of work that has been done, and with the vehicle being sat around for the Winter – a good road test is critical. Test everything out and go from there – that will be fun!

If our USA trip does get delayed for another year – then a little man in my head seems to think that a trip around the coast of England, Scotland and Wales might be a plan.

I quite fancy that, I will break out the trusty Hasselblad and a book might well follow.

Even considering a You Tube channel – get me, I mean us………..

Seriously though, I would have gone down the You Tube route before now. But as you know I am doing this project on my own. If I had to keep stopping to work out camera positions, lighting and sound, I would never finish………..(Not that I have)
